Does this work OK on a network if it's connected to an Airport Extreme?

I have a newer Airport Extreme Time Capsule and it works fine with that too. I am networking the WD Book through my Time Capsule so I can share the drive via WiFi for backing up my and my wife's iMacs using Time Machine. It works great. Took me a couple of minutes to find and go through the mounting procedure but after that it is working just as it should. Here's a link to the instructions on Apple's site: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204664

Yes, as long as it is the newest model Airport Extreme (tall one - see this page: http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html)

To be honest I dont know about this drives wifi capabilities. I am pretty sure it doesn't support wifi syncing.

I have it connected by USB to a iMac 24" and it works great. I did read prior to buying that it was a good idea to reformat to expanded directory. I have the option for TimeCapsule or just extra disc space and Photoshop scratch disk.

Yes it will work fine. Just plug er in and use it as a wireless switch. I've put several of these in and set them up that way. This thing works way better then the dumb router that my ISP makes me pay a monthly rental fee on.

I believe it will do both depending on configuration. I had planned on connecting it using a LAN but it automatically connected to the WIFI from across the parking lot and has been working ever since (almost a year).

I have connected to a G, N and AC network. I cannot confirm if it will connect to an A or B network.

Yes. Must be a dud. That should work wetter or not it is connected to a network.

It could be so many things, but it's interesting that you're using a Linksys router. I initially tried using a Linksys ethernet hub and it didn't work. I then switched to a DLink wireless bridge and have had no issues with it. The DLink connects with my Airport Extreme base station just fine. I wonder if the BD300 has a Linksys issue.

I never had that issue and I also use AirPort Extreme. Assuming you have your wi-fi password entered correctly (case sensitive and whatnot), I'd try setting up with the speaker unit closer to the wi-fi hotspot in case there are some issues with signal strength. Also, you may want to activate the guest mode of your AirPort Extreme without any password and just try to see if it connects that way. Of course, this would only be temporary fix as you'd not want guest mode active 24/7.

I have an apple airport extreme router and it did not work at first. I changed the router settings from "Bridge mode" to "Share an IP address" and it worked fine

There isn't a thunderbolt port on the Airport Extreme router so it will not work with this drive

Yes, as long as you have enabled port forwarding on your router to allow access outside your LAN.

The networking interface should work anywhere. This is a powered unit. You will probably have to convert power to the voltage/outlet type you have down there.

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

In a word, NO. It has to be connected to a router that assigns internal IP addresses. That would be either your cable/DSL 'modem' or to something like an Apple Airport that has an ethernet jack.

I don't see why not. I found the whole set up to be a bit less than stellar and decided to switch to Apple Airport Extreme and Express. It's much easier to use and much more reliable. plug and play and it just works. You can also use two expresses or three if necessary and they'll work together seamlessly as one big network.

Yes it will. Re-read the application guide (it is on the web page) for the five different operational mode. There are 5 very good diagrams on how to connect the device to a network.*AP Mode(Default)*Repeater Mode*AP Client Mode*Router Mode*Bridge ModeThere are many informative reviews explaining it's uses.I bought two units on for home & one travel.

Yes, but you may have to configure it differently if it's not the main router on your network.

Looks like it's b/g only, so it might ruin the max throughput for other wireless clients that support N (54Mbps instead of 150Mbps)From their manual "The MC200Air operates with "n", "g" or "b" systems, however, it will not connect to a router that is "class n" only, nor on a limited access "guest" network."
